Exandria Unlimited: Calamity

Art By: @agarthanguide

In a world of magic and intrigue, the fate of Exandria hangs in the balance as the Ring of Brass, a group of diverse individuals with intertwined destinies, grapples with treachery, manipulation, and the looming threat of ancient evils.

The story begins with the revelation that a powerful artifact, the Orb of Knowledge, has been stolen from the Sorcerer’s University in Avalir. This theft sets off a chain of events that lead the Ring of Brass, comprised of Patia, Nydas, Zerxus, Laerryn, Loquatius, and Cerrit, on a perilous journey to uncover the truth and save their world.

As they delve deeper into the mystery, they discover a web of deceit woven by Lycretia, a powerful mage with her own agenda. Through memories extracted from captured mages, the Ring learns of a plot orchestrated by Cormorant, a sinister figure allied with dark forces known as the Betrayers, to destabilize Exandria. Purvan Suul, a key figure in Vasselheim, is targeted to prevent him from aiding their cause.

Amidst the chaos, the Ring confronts internal conflicts and doubts. Laerryn, wielding the power of the Astral Leywright, grapples with the weight of her responsibility and the consequences of her actions. Zerxus faces a moral dilemma as he is offered a pact by the Lord of the Hells, while Nydas struggles with the burden of leadership and the sacrifices it demands.

As tensions escalate, the Ring races against time to thwart the Betrayers’ plans and prevent the primordials, Emperor Rau’shaun and Empress Ka’mort, from being unleashed upon Exandria. In a desperate bid to save their world, they make sacrifices that test their resolve and challenge their beliefs.

Ultimately, as Avalir descends into chaos and destruction, the Ring of Brass stands united in their determination to protect Exandria. Through courage, sacrifice, and unwavering resolve, they confront the forces of darkness and forge a path towards hope and redemption.

In the aftermath of the cataclysmic events, Exandria lies shattered but not defeated. The Ring of Brass’s actions have spared the world from total annihilation, paving the way for a new era of rebuilding and renewal. Though scars remain, the spirit of resilience and hope endures, ensuring that Exandria will rise again.

The characters are:

Cerrit Agrupnin

Cerrit Agrupnin, an eisfuura rogue, holds the esteemed position of Senior Sightwarden within the Eyes of Avalir. Despite his demanding role, Cerrit is a devoted family man, blessed with a loving wife and two children: Maya, his spirited seven-year-old daughter, and Kir, his playful five-year-old son. While his wife, a scientist, often travels for work, Cerrit maintains a close bond with his family, facilitated by a sending stone that Kir uses to communicate with him, sometimes revealing his sister’s mischievous escapades. Despite the demands of his duty, Cerrit cherishes the comfort and joy of his familial relationships.

Laerryn Coramar-Seelie

Laerryn Coramar-Seelie, an elven wizard, held the esteemed position of Architect Arcane within the city of Avalir. Utilizing the Grand Geometer she had meticulously crafted, Laerryn diligently monitored the approaching apogee solstice. Her calculations hinted at a high likelihood of significant shifts in the ley lines, prompting heightened concern.

Loquatius Seelie

Loquatius Seelie, a changeling warlock/bard, resides within the vibrant city of Avalir where he serves as a broadcaster in the esteemed Herald’s Tome. Hailing originally from the mystical Feywild and a member of the Seelie Court, Loquatius pledged his allegiance to Lady Elmenore as her devoted warlock. His journey led him to Exandria, where he found love in the arms of a mortal woman, Laerryn Coramar. Despite their affection, their union proved tumultuous, culminating in divorce less than seven years later, prompting Loquatius to depart their shared home in Avalir, leaving behind a trail of unresolved differences.

Nydas Okiro

Nydas Okiro, a human sorcerer/bard and former pirate, ascended to the prestigious role of Guildmaster of the Golden Scythe in Avalir. Renowned for his cunning and ambition, Nydas not only led the guild but also founded the Sorcerer’s University within the city’s walls. However, beneath his charismatic facade lies a darker truth. Avalir, known for its annual journey across Exandria to gather ether, had fallen prey to corruption. Despite tradition dictating the allocation of ether for the Replenishment, a significant portion was diverted by nefarious means. Nydas played a pivotal role in this scheme, ensuring the Leywright’s manipulation to maintain secrecy and sustain the illicit flow of ether for personal gain, unbeknownst to the citizens of Avalir.

Patia Por’co

Patia Por’co, an elven wizard known for her role as the Keeper of Scrolls and Archmage of the Librarium Incantatum in Avalir, carried a hidden burden from her past. Despite fondly mentioning her grandfather, Patia remained reticent about her parents, their absence shrouded in mystery. It wasn’t until later that she unraveled the truth: her memories of them had been deliberately erased by her grandfather, Imyr Por’co, who deemed them failures and harbored greater aspirations for Patia. This revelation cast a shadow over her past, illuminating the complexities of her familial ties and the weight of expectations placed upon her shoulders.

Zerxus Ilerez

Zerxus Ilerez, a human paladin from a town near Cathmoíra, rose to become the revered First Knight of Avalir after marrying Evandrin and raising their son Elias. Tragedy struck when Evandrin became ensnared in another realm, leaving Zerxus burdened with grief and guilt. Despite his efforts to resurrect Evandrin, he faced failure and sought solace in the lore of the Betrayer Gods. As the looming calamity approached, Zerxus resided in the Tower of the First Knight with his loyal griffon, Tempus, while Elias remained distant, dwelling in Cathmoíra under another’s care. Their fractured bond echoed the tumultuous times ahead.
